A video I took a couple of years ago of the recovery of the airguns array on the Research VesselM. G. Langseth, operated by the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, NY.
Airguns are large steel cylinders towed under water by a ship to generate seismic waves. The cylinders get filled with very high pressure air (~200 Bars) which is then released creating a bang. The seismic waves generated are used to image the layers of the Earth under the ocean, similarly to a medical ultrasound scan.
This shooting was part of expedition MGL1305 to image the structure of the Earth crust on and around the Rainbow massif. Rainbow is an "oceanic core complex", i.e. a dome-shaped striated massif created by faulting along a very long lived fault (an oceanic detachment fault).

Test 1-10 simulates parachute and floating device recovery for a offshore landing of our Havørn rocket. An electric match is used to ignite a pyromix for the ejection system. 1-3.5 grams was testet and we landed on 2.65 grams on the last test. The pyro is pushing a piston that pushes out the tube holding the parachute and floating devices. Because of the vacum its creating, the piston retracts and the tube continues. A series of Kevlar lines pulls out the parachute, floating device and connects the nosecone to the rocket. Next test will be with the actual parachute and floating bags.

Video of a recovery of a cargo of aluminum blocks from a depth of more then 100 meter using a in house developed and build remote operated underwater crane

China has historically been a dark hole for US judgment enforcement efforts. New strategies and court rulings have created a new mechanism, using offshore means, to recover money from China. Learn the latest developments, tips, strategies and best practices developed by the industry experts in this area. $10 billion of US investor money was lost when over 100 US listed China companies went dark in the past decade. The SEC has been unable to recoup money from China in any meaningful way. You will learn through a distinguished panel chaired by global asset recovery leader Ed Davis all about the alternative pathway that has been developed through cooperative efforts led by Robert Seiden of The Seiden Group and ConfidentialGlobal Investigations and Paul Pretlove of Zolfo Cooper and their work with other practitioners in the US, BVI, Hong Kong and China that has resulted in many millions recovered for investors.

Recovery (TV series)

Recovery was a music and youth-oriented television series that was broadcast by ABC TV in Australia. The show was aired each Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm, following the overnight video clip program, Rage, and was broadcast from 20 April 1996 to 29 April 2000.

Content

Each episode featured a mix of live performances, music videos, other youth-relevant pop culture segments and comedy sketches.

Personnel

Recovery was primarily hosted by Dylan Lewis, although in the earlier episodes produced in Sydney, the hosting and segment introduction duties were shared with others, such as Sarah Macdonald. Once production moved to Melbourne, the show was co-hosted by Tamara Rewse, who was replaced by Jane Gazzo, and was shot entirely before a live studio audience.

Film reviews were presented by Leigh Whannell, who expressed an appreciation of the horror genre and later co-created the Saw horror film franchise. Vince Perry judged home made versions of popular films that would be submitted weekly by viewers in a segment called Cinema Amateur. Pheona Donohoe of the Scenestar organisation presented the all-ages gig report and DJ J'Nett presented the electronic dance music segment. Actor/comedian Angus Sampson was also a regular co-host, although mainly under the guise of his mysterious alter-ego, "The Enforcer". This format would last until November 1998, whereupon Gazzo moved to the United Kingdom (UK), while Lewis pursued other interests, including his band The Brown Hornet.

Offshore (novel)

Offshore (1979) is a novel by Penelope Fitzgerald. It won the Booker Prize for that year. It recalls her time spent on boats on the Thames in Battersea. The novel explores the liminality of people who do not belong to the land or the sea, but are somewhere in between. The epigraph, "che mena il vento, e che batte la pioggia, e che s'incontran con si aspre lingue" ("whom the wind drives, or whom the rain beats, or those who clash with such bitter tongues") comes from Canto XI of Dante's Inferno.

Offshore (hydrocarbons)

"Offshore", when used relative to hydrocarbons, refers to an oil, natural gas or condensate field that is under the sea, or to activities or operations carried out in relation to such a field. There are various types of platform used in the development of offshore oil and gas fields, and subsea facilities.

The Gulf of Mexico formed approximately 300 million years ago as a result of plate tectonics. The Gulf's basin is roughly oval and is approximately 810 nautical miles (1,500km; 930mi) wide and floored by sedimentary rocks and recent sediments. It is connected to part of the Atlantic Ocean through the Florida Straits between the U.S. and Cuba, and with the Caribbean Sea (with which it forms the American Mediterranean Sea) via the Yucatan Channel between Mexico and Cuba. With the narrow connection to the Atlantic, the Gulf experiences very small tidal ranges. The size of the Gulf basin is approximately 1.6 million km2 (615,000sqmi). Almost half of the basin is shallow continental shelf waters. The basin contains a volume of roughly 2500 quadrillion litres (550 quadrillion Imperial gallons, 660 US quadrillion gallons, 2.5 million cu km or 600,000 cu mi).

The 5 Largest Offshore Platforms of the World

Offshore platforms are remarkable engineering feats, therefor it is time for the 5 largest offshore platforms of the world! Massive in size, these structures take several years and often many billions of dollars to build — but when complete, they can extract oil and gas from some of the least-accessible spots on the planet.
The Mars B/OlympusPlatform in the Gulf of MexicoFirst oil production begun in February 2014 from the Mars B development through Olympus, Shell’s seventh, and largest, floating deep-water platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Combined production from Olympus and Shell’s original Mars platform is expected to deliver an estimated resource base of 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe).
The project is also directly investing $5 million dollars in community, social and environmental initiatives with the aim to benefit the communities of the US Gulf Coast, as well as in South Korea, where the hull of the Olympus platform was built.

The Hibernia Platform in the CanadianAtlantic
Hibernia is an oil field in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 315 kilometres (196 mi) east-southeast of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, in 80 m of water. The production platform Hibernia is the world’s largest oil platform (by weight) and consists of a 37,000 t (41,000 short tons) integrated topsides facility mounted on a 600,000 t (660,000 short tons) gravity base structure. The platform was towed to its final site, and 450,000 t (500,000 short tons) of solid ballast were added to secure it in place. Inside the gravity base structure are storage tanks for 1.2 million barrels (190,000 m3) of crude oil.

The Petronius Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
Petronius is a deepwater compliant tower oil platform operated by Chevron Corporation and Marathon Oil in the Gulf of Mexico, 210 km southeast of New Orleans, United States. A compliant piled tower design, it is 609.9 metres (2,001 ft) high, and was arguably the tallest free-standing structure in the world, until surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in 2010, although this claim is disputed since only 75 metres of the platform are above water. The multi-deck topsides are 64 metres by 43 metres by 18.3 metres high and hold 21 well slots, and the entire structure weighs around 43,000 tons. Around 8,000 m3 (50,000 barrels) of oil and 2,000,000 m3 (70 million cubic feet) of natural gas are extracted daily by the platform.
The jacket supports topsides weighing 7,500t.
The jacket supports topsides weighing 7,500t.
The Perdido Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
Perdido is the world’s deepest spar, and the second-deepest oil and gas production hub after Shell’s Stones development. Moored in around 2,450 metres (8,000 feet) of water in the US Gulf of Mexico, Perdido started production in 2010, opening up a new frontier in deep-water oil and gas recovery.
The Perdido Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
The Perdido Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
The Berkut Platform in the Sea of Okhotsk on the RussianPacific CoastRussia’s Rosneft and America’s ExxonMobil have launched a unique drilling platform in the Okhotsk Sea in Russia’s Far East. The world’s most powerful rig can drill within the radius of at least 7 kilometers.
The drilling platform can withstand a 9 magnitude earthquake, waves of up to 18 meters and temperatures down to minus 44 degrees Celsius, Rosneft PresidentIgor Sechin said. Berkut can also withstand floating ice up to two meters thick and has an autonomous power supply system. It has the largest superstructure on any rig. Weighing 200,000 tons it can drill a total of 45 wells.
The platform is located 25 km offshore in waters up 35 meters deep. The drilling will be performed by means of a marine rig, which allows all-year-round drilling of wells.

China has historically been a dark hole for US judgment enforcement efforts. New strategies and court rulings have created a new mechanism, using offshore means, to recover money from China. Learn the latest developments, tips, strategies and best practices developed by the industry experts in this area. $10 billion of US investor money was lost when over 100 US listed China companies went dark in the past decade. The SEC has been unable to recoup money from China in any meaningful way. You will learn through a distinguished panel chaired by global asset recovery leader Ed Davis all about the alternative pathway that has been developed through cooperative efforts led by Robert Seiden of The Seiden Group and ConfidentialGlobal Investigations and Paul Pretlove of Zolfo Cooper and their work with other practitioners in the US, BVI, Hong Kong and China that has resulted in many millions recovered for investors.

Offshore platforms are remarkable engineering feats, therefor it is time for the 5 largest offshore platforms of the world! Massive in size, these structures take several years and often many billions of dollars to build — but when complete, they can extract oil and gas from some of the least-accessible spots on the planet.
The Mars B/OlympusPlatform in the Gulf of MexicoFirst oil production begun in February 2014 from the Mars B development through Olympus, Shell’s seventh, and largest, floating deep-water platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Combined production from Olympus and Shell’s original Mars platform is expected to deliver an estimated resource base of 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe).
The project is also directly investing $5 million dollars in community, social and environmental initiatives with the aim to benefit the communities of the US Gulf Coast, as well as in South Korea, where the hull of the Olympus platform was built.

The Hibernia Platform in the CanadianAtlantic
Hibernia is an oil field in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 315 kilometres (196 mi) east-southeast of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, in 80 m of water. The production platform Hibernia is the world’s largest oil platform (by weight) and consists of a 37,000 t (41,000 short tons) integrated topsides facility mounted on a 600,000 t (660,000 short tons) gravity base structure. The platform was towed to its final site, and 450,000 t (500,000 short tons) of solid ballast were added to secure it in place. Inside the gravity base structure are storage tanks for 1.2 million barrels (190,000 m3) of crude oil.

The Petronius Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
Petronius is a deepwater compliant tower oil platform operated by Chevron Corporation and Marathon Oil in the Gulf of Mexico, 210 km southeast of New Orleans, United States. A compliant piled tower design, it is 609.9 metres (2,001 ft) high, and was arguably the tallest free-standing structure in the world, until surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in 2010, although this claim is disputed since only 75 metres of the platform are above water. The multi-deck topsides are 64 metres by 43 metres by 18.3 metres high and hold 21 well slots, and the entire structure weighs around 43,000 tons. Around 8,000 m3 (50,000 barrels) of oil and 2,000,000 m3 (70 million cubic feet) of natural gas are extracted daily by the platform.

The Perdido Platform in the Gulf of Mexico
Perdido is the world’s deepest spar, and the second-deepest oil and gas production hub after Shell’s Stones development. Moored in around 2,450 metres (8,000 feet) of water in the US Gulf of Mexico, Perdido started production in 2010, opening up a new frontier in deep-water oil and gas recovery.

The Berkut Platform in the Sea of Okhotsk on the RussianPacific CoastRussia’s Rosneft and America’s ExxonMobil have launched a unique drilling platform in the Okhotsk Sea in Russia’s Far East. The world’s most powerful rig can drill within the radius of at least 7 kilometers.
The drilling platform can withstand a 9 magnitude earthquake, waves of up to 18 meters and temperatures down to minus 44 degrees Celsius, Rosneft PresidentIgor Sechin said. Berkut can also withstand floating ice up to two meters thick and has an autonomous power supply system. It has the largest superstructure on any rig. Weighing 200,000 tons it can drill a total of 45 wells.
The platform is located 25 km offshore in waters up 35 meters deep. The drilling will be performed by means of a marine rig, which allows all-year-round drilling of wells.

Seismic airguns recovery | Offshore Life

A video I took a couple of years ago of the recovery of the airguns array on the Research VesselM. G. Langseth, operated by the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, NY.
Airguns are large steel cylinders towed under water by a ship to generate seismic waves. The cylinders get filled with very high pressure air (~200 Bars) which is then released creating a bang. The seismic waves generated are used to image the layers of the Earth under the ocean, similarly to a medical ultrasound scan.
This shooting was part of expedition MGL1305 to image the structure of the Earth crust on and around the Rainbow massif. Rainbow is an "oceanic core complex", i.e. a dome-shaped striated massif created by faulting along a very long lived fault (an oceanic detachment fault).

Rocket recovery test for offshore landing

Test 1-10 simulates parachute and floating device recovery for a offshore landing of our Havørn rocket. An electric match is used to ignite a pyromix for the ejection system. 1-3.5 grams was testet and we landed on 2.65 grams on the last test. The pyro is pushing a piston that pushes out the tube holding the parachute and floating devices. Because of the vacum its creating, the piston retracts and the tube continues. A series of Kevlar lines pulls out the parachute, floating device and connects the nosecone to the rocket. Next test will be with the actual parachute and floating bags.
